    Section 1 Introduction

    1.1 Overview The new Isco 3780 Sampler is designed for hazardous locationinstallation and carries the IEC (International ElectrotechnicalCommission) rating for Zone 1 (compliant with UL Class I,Division 1 requirements) operation. It provides users with aviable alternative to manual sample collection in hazardous loca-tions. It has also been given approval for Zone 1 installation byTUV, an internationally recognized testing lab.

    The IEC Zone 1 classification refers to areas where ignitable con-centrations of explosive gases are likely to exist periodicallyunder normal operating conditions. IEC standards are acceptedin the US, and operate in parallel with the UL/CSA Divisionratings system.

    The 3780’s Zone 1 rating is achieved using specialized batteriesand a cast aluminum case that contains the controller compo-nents. In addition, a unique programming interface eliminatesthe need for complex keypad entry of program parameters, andserves to maintain the operational safety required for Zone 1applications.

    Section 2 Installation

    2.1 Overview Section 2 explains principal setup and sampler operation,including physical placement and connections for power andexternal input, basic function and sample collection.

    2.2 Placement of the Sampler

    To avoid the formation of air slugs and to ensure that the correctquantities are sampled, place the sampler above the samplesource on solid, level ground so that the suction line slopesdownward to the source. The standard suction line is equippedwith a weighted strainer at its opening which prevents large par-ticles from entering the tube, and the tube from rising to thesurface. For cold weather operation, additional tube insulationmay be necessary.

    2.3 Battery Operation During battery operation, the sampler is run by an externalbattery. It is essential to charge the battery prior to starting thesampler. An external battery charger (not Zone 1 rated) can beused.

    The battery charger may under no circumstances be used in riskareas. The charging time depends upon the remaining charge ofthe battery. A fully discharged battery must be charged for atleast 24 to 48 hours.

    For trickle charging, the battery should be connected continu-ously to the battery charger since the charging process is regu-lated automatically. The battery is protected by means of aswitch, which prevents deep discharge. If the voltage becomes toolow, the sampler switches off automatically.

    WARNINGWARNINGThe battery must be recharged after using battery operation mode.

    The battery must NOT be charged using the battery charger inplaces with high explosion risk, since the battery charger itself isnot ex-protected.

    When the sampler is powered by an external battery, it can beused immediately after the battery has been exchanged. Theused battery can then be recharged.

    2.4 Connecting the Ex-protected Connector

    Sampler models designed for operation with an external batteryor the ex-protected AC-charger are suitably equipped with anex-protected connector.

    To connect it properly, rotate it a quarter-turn clockwise whileexerting slight pressure. The connector should click into position.

    2.5 Sampler Connections

    WARNINGWARNINGIn risk areas, only self-protected circuits may be used!

    WARNINGWARNINGTo ensure safe operation in hazardous location areas, all wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with governing directives.

    NoteIn the connector box, the brown wire is "+" and blue "–".

    WARNINGWARNINGAny flow meter or external device to be operated with the sampler in an ex-area must be self-protected.

    WARNINGWARNINGIf the sampler is to be operated in manholes or in the open, the protective cover must be placed over the control housing for splash protection. Only when the protective cover is in place will the sampler have the protection degree IP 65.

    2.6 Basic Function and Design

    The sampler allows sequential or composite samples to be takenof waste water from lakes, rivers, and other waters at timedintervals, with the option of flow-poportional sample volumes.The sampler is equipped with a peristaltic pump. Each sample iscollected according to the following sequence:

    1. Suction Line Purge

    2. Water drawn until detected at sampling head

    3. Delivery of preset sample volume

    4. Suction Line purgeThe sample time is stored by the control module.

    In subsequent collections, if the sampling head does not identifywater after 1.25 times the duration of the first sample collection,the suction line will be purged, error 5 will be displayed, and anew sample process will be initiated for the next sample col-lection.

    The samples are deposited either into one single vessel (com-posite sampling), or into 12 bottles by means of a distributor arm(sequential sampling).

    For sequential sampling: Before switching the sampler on, man-ually set the distributor arm to bottle 12. The reason for this isthat when the sampler is switched off, the controller alwaysadvances to the next field; i.e., the next bottle in sequence will beset as bottle #1.

    3.2 Operation The sampler is operated by means of a 24-position rotary selectorswitch and one confirmation button.

    NoteThis manual often refers to pressing “keys.” In reality, thistranslates to selecting the indicated number or function withthe rotary selector switch and then pressing the ENTER but-ton.

    Example:

    3.3 Switching On the Sampler

    To switch on the sampler, the (ON) key must be pressed. Theversion of the control unit should be indicated briefly.

    3.4 Viewing Errors If the sampler displays [ERRORS!], some errors from the lastprogram sequence are still stored in the error file. To see theseerrors, press (F). Errors are displayed in reverse chronologicalorder, i.e. the last error which occurred is displayed first. Theerror number, date, and time of start and end of error are dis-played, in that order. After this, the display reads [CONTIN.?].By pressing (F), the next error can be seen. If there are nofurther errors in the file, the message [F END!] appears. Thedisplay of the contents of the error file can only be stopped bypressing (F) repeatedly until the message [CONTIN.?] is dis-played and (C) is pressed. A program cannot be restarted untilthe errors are cleared. To clear the errors, press (C) again, and

    If you have changed the sample volume, the display showsthe actual amount over or under the calculated sample vol-ume as a percentage. If, for example, the sample volume[SV 20.8 ml] is reduced to 15.5 ml, the display will read[SV -25%].

    For sample volumes below 2ml, the display reads [DQ <2ml]. This is indicates possible inaccuracy due to the sam-ple volumes being so small. In all cases, the processor willsuggest a sample volume between 5ml and 2500 ml.

    7. Activating and Deactivating the Suction Purge. The suc-tion purge function can be activated or deactivated after each collection in order to take samples in pressurized lines.[PU ON ?] Suction line will be purged.

    [PU OFF ?] Suction line will not be purged.

    The (C) key toggles between these two options. To selectthe desired option, press (ENTER).

    8. Entering the Measuring Range (Only possible for program F mA)[0-20 mA]

    Initially, the display blinks, signaling that the bottomvalue of the measuring range is to be entered. Either 0mAor 4mA can be selected.

    Use the number keys (0, 4) to enter the desired value andpress (ENTER).

    Signal currents at or below the bottom value will result in0ml sample volumes. After the bottom value has beenentered, the display blinks again, signaling that the topvalue is to be entered. Use the number keys (0-9) to enterthe desired value to one decimal place, and press (ENTER).Signal currents at or above the top value will result insample volumes of 100%.

    9. Switch-over Value (only required in the case of program F mA). The sampler is able to switch over to time mode when there is a permanently low flow of signal current. If the sig-nal current is at or below the switch-over value, the maxi-mum possible sample volume will be taken. If the signal current rises above the switch-over value, the sampler will switch again to the flow mode of operation.If the sampler is to operate without a switch-over value,enter 0.0mA. Each time the signal current falls below theswitch-over value will be stored in the error file.

    [SO 0.0mA]

    To enter the switch-over value, use the number keys (0-9).It can be entered in 0.1 mA increments within a range of 0to 10mA. After entering a value, press (ENTER). To correctwrong entries, press the (C) key.

    10. Switch-off Value (will only be viewed in the case of pro-gram F mA). If the signal current is at or below the

  • Isco 3780 Zone 1-rated SamplerSection 3 Operation

    3-9

    switch-off value, the sampler will not take any samples. If the signal current exceeds the switch-off value, the sam-pler will again automatically take flow proportional sam-ples.If the sampler is to operate without a switch-off value,enter 0.0mA. Each time that the signal current falls belowthe switch-off value will be stored in the error file.

    [SX 0.0mA]

    To enter the switch-off value, use the number keys (0-9). Itcan be entered in 0.1mA increments within a range of 0to10mA. The switch-off value must be 0.5mA lower thanthe switch-over value. After entering the desired value,press (ENTER). To correct wrong entries, press the (C) key.

    Section 4 Maintenance

    4.1 Overview The following section contains routine maintenance instructionsfor the 3780 sampler, including regular cleaning steps, tubingreplacement, battery maintenance, and recommended inspectionintervals.

    4.2 Maintenance

    WARNINGWARNINGThe controller housing may only be opened by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer. Improper opening or closing of the housing results in loss of ex-protection.

    WARNINGWARNINGAlways disconnect power to the sampler before opening.

    To ensure proper function, the sampler should be cleaned regu-larly, depending upon the degree and nature of pollution of theliquid:

    1. Clean the fluid sensor using the enclosed brush.If the water is highly polluted or oily, the fluid sensor mayrequire daily cleaning.

    2. Remove and clean distributor.

    3. Rinse cycle:

    a. Switch on the sampler.

    b. Immerse suction line in a detergent.

    c. Press the (.) key to start the rinse cycle.

    d. Repeat rinse cycle several times.The silicone tube in the pump head is subject to natural wear dueto the pumping process. Furthermore, the tube life will depend agreat deal on the composition of the sample liquid.

    Replace pump tube with silicone tubing of .3 in. inside diameter,.5 in. outside diameter, and of 11 in. length. Other tube dimen-sions may result in lower transport velocities or damage to thepump.

  • Isco 3780 Zone 1-rated SamplerSection 4 Maintenance

    4-2

    WARNINGWARNINGWhen changing the pump tube, avoid pinching your fingers. Power to the sampler must be disconnected. The pump rotor can be turned clockwise. When operating the sampler, always make sure that the protective cover of the pump is attached.

    4.3 Battery Maintenance If the external battery will not be used for a long period of time, itshould be charged once a month for 24 hours.

    4.4 Safety Inspection for Ex-Protected Samplers

    We have established a safety inspection service to ensure properfunctioning of the sampler, and most importantly, its safety inrisk areas. A safety inspection is recommended at two years afterinitial operation of the sampler, and annually thereafter.

    The inspection consists of a check of the pressure container, theseal, and function of the microprocessor-controller, the pump,and the fluid sensor.

    You must contact the factory for a return authorization number,before returning the unit(s). Information on charges for theservice are available from the factory. Non-USA customers mustcontact their respective Isco dealer for return instructions.

    If you have obtained your sampler from your local dealer, we maynot have your data on file. In this case, please provide youraddress and the sampler serial number(s) of your equipment,when requesting service.

    One Year Limited Warranty *Factory Service

    Isco instruments covered by this warranty

    have a one-year limited warranty covering

    parts and labor.

    Any instrument that fails during the warranty

    period, due to faulty parts or workmanship,

    will be repaired at the factory at no charge to

    the customer. Isco's exclusive liability is

    limited to repair or replacement of defective

    instruments. Isco is not liable for

    consequential damages.

    Isco will pay surface transportation charges

    both ways within the 48 contiguous United

    States if the instrument proves to be defective

    within 30 days of shipment. Throughout the

    remainder of the warranty period, the

    customer will pay to return the instrument to

    Isco, and Isco will pay surface transportation

    to return the repaired instrument to the

    customer. Isco will not pay air freight or

    ribbon, tubing, and glassware; and damage

    due to corrosion, misuse, accident, or lack of

    proper maintenance. This warranty does not

    warranties and obligations and Isco

    specifically disclaims any warranty of

    merchantability or fitness for a particular

    purpose. Any changes in this warranty must

    be in writing and signed by a corporate
